GDP by state?

[truthseeker1]

Does anyone have a source for GDP by state? I'd like to compare blue states to red states.

Also....is GDP the same thing as GNP? If not, how they differ?

If it's available by state...is it called GSP??

1. Here's a great source for most US stats.

The Statistical Abstract of the United States

Here's the link to the latest figures. They're from 2001 and don't represent the full downturn due to Shrub Inc's mismanagement.

Here's the definition of GNP according to the Statistical abstract:

Gross national product measures the output
attributable to all labor and property
supplied by United States residents. GNP
differs from ‘‘national income’’ mainly in
that GNP includes allowances for depreciation
and for indirect business taxes
(sales and property taxes); see Table 665.

I know where you're going with this and most blue states have a higher GSP than red states. A recent study showed that most blue states pay more in federal taxes than they receive in federal dollars while the reverse is true for most red states. The stupid thing is that red state voters would have benefited more from the moderate programs and tax plan that Kerry proposed. They'll end up losing more federal dollars under Shrub Inc. All that because they were terrified of homosexuals getting married. Our country is truly bizarre.
